Drug prevention center
prepares for loss of grant
Coordinator says CDPE remains in good shape
By Denise Thompson
STAFF WRITER
Although the Center for Drug Prevention and Edu
cation will lose a grant this year, the center is in good
Financial shape, the center coordinator said.
Dennis Reardon said a grant from the Texas Com
mission for Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, which pro
vides about $1,700 in program money and $7,000 in
graduate student funding, will be discontinued after
this school year.
He said that although the center had the grant for
five years, the TCADA decided to change the area for
which the grant is intended to be used.
“The TCADA is moving into a different direction,”
he said. “They’re beginning to supply money for treat
ment rather than for prevention and education on col
lege campuses, so that program will end for us.”
The center submitted a request to the Student Fi
nance Committee for $117,000. Reardon said he ex
pects $20,580 to come from a federal government grant
and $46,000 to come from administrative funding. The
additional $46,000 will be funded through student
service fees.
“We requested that amount from student servicefeti
because we are a student service,” he said. “Studen
service fees provided us with our intial start-up
ing, so they’re nothing new to us.
“It may look like there’s an increase in the amoum
we’re asking for because we only received $11,00(1
year.
"However, the year before, we received $60,000,
we used the reserves from that to help fund last year,So
there’s really not much of an increase at all.”
Reardon said although the center will be se
ditional grants, he said the purpose behind giantsert
ates a certain level of difficulty in finding one.
“When you have an ongoing program, typical
grant will not come in and say, ‘We’re going to giveyoy
money to do that program,’ ” he said. “Grantmoneit
usually for the expansion of a program so you can pm
vide more services or for a different way of dealingnitl
a similar issue.
“Granting organizations usually have specific thiup
they want done. You have to decide whether you
agency is appropriate to do those things.”
Suspects surrender to officials
in connection with cop killing
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Two
brothers sought in the slaying of a
patrolman who was overpowered
and disarmed turned themselves in
Tuesday to Bexar County prosecu
tors.
Henry David Hernandez, 25, and
Julian Hernandez, 28, whose driv
er’s license was recovered at the
scene of the shooting early Monday,
walked into the office of District At
torney Fred Rodriguez with their at
torney Tuesday afternoon.
They were taken before state Dis
trict Judge James Barlow for a five-
minute hearing. The judge ordered
them held without bond and their
attorney, Joe Hernandez, requested
that no police or prosecutors speak
to them without their attorney pre
sent.
The men, looking scared and de
clining to answer reporters’ ques
tions, were led down a hall by about
10 district attorney investigators.
One of the suspects was wearing a
suit and the other was wearing slacks
and a vest,
Rodriguez said the suspects’ attor
ney contacted him Tuesday morning
after the suspects said they wanted
to turn themselves in.
“They were scared,” Rodriguez
said. “Mr. Hernandez was scared for
them. He wanted my word that they
would not be harmed.”
He said he did not know where
the suspects were in the last 24 hours
and he did not know whether the ve
hicle or the weapon used in the slay
ing of Patrolman Gary Williams had
been recovered.
“They were concerned about their
safety,” Joe Hernandez said. “They
wanted to surrender. They were
very concerned about the police de
partment because of the charge
against them.
“The deceased was a San Antonio
police officer, and that’s the reason
they preferred to surrender to an
agency that was not under the San
Antonio Police Department.”
Police had intensified their search
for the brothers Monday and Tues
day after the slaying of Williams.
The 37-year-old officer died at
9:31 a.m. Monday while undergoing
surgery at Brooke Army Medical
Center. He was the third area officer
shot in the line of duty and the sec
ond to die from his wounds.
The two-year department veteran
was shot once in the lower abdomen
below his bullet-proof vest and once
in the left side of the neck, appar
ently with his own .357-caliberMa<
num revolver, police spokesmanSgt
Paul Buske said.
Capital murder warrants within
bonds were issued for their arres;
while police officers staked out sevt
ral locations.
Mayor Henry Cisneros on Tiia-
day questioned whether the di
should be using two-man patroli
during the overnight hours in theal
termath of Williams’ slaying.
The shooting incident l
about 3 a.m. when Williams wasdis
patched to''the city's northeast are

vehicle parked behind a closed r&
taurant, said homicide Lt. Albert Or
tiz, who is heading the investigatiot
into the shooting.
Williams said he would ask for
backup unit once he determined th(
situation, Ortiz said.
When Williams approached tilt
car, a 1967 beige Mercury, it p
onto the access road of Northeasi
Loop 410. After stopping the met
he took the driver’s license fromom

Chemical headed to Iran
forfeited by company
HOUSTON (AP) — A federal
judge ruled Tuesday afternoon that
a Florida company must forfeit a
shipment of rocket fuel component
seized by the U.S. Customs Service
en route to Iran, following an earlier
ruling that agents had probable
cause for the seizure.
U.S. District Judge Sim Lake’s rul
ing against Girindus Corp. of
Tampa, Fla., affirms government
possession of the 286,000 pounds of
ammonium perchlorate, which is
used as an oxidizer in fuel for rock
ets and missiles.
Attorneys for Girindus argued
the company’s due process was vio
lated because the government
waited so long in asking for forfeit
ure of the chemical being stored in
Arkansas.
The chemical was seized by Cus
toms officials in The Netherlands on
Feb. 25, 1988, but the final notice of
seizure sent to Girindus by Customs
officials was not sent until last Octo
ber.
Monday, a Customs official said
the chemical was seized because they
were informed by the State Depart
ment that the chemical required a
special export license that Girindus
did not hold.
Customs agent Steven Woody said
the Dutch government was asked to
detain the chemical after being
transferred from an American
tanker to an Iranian freighter in the
Dutch port of Rotterdam.
Ammonium perchlorate was not
included on a list of commodities
needing special export licensing un
til March 1, 1988, Girindus attorney
Sharon Doyle said.
She said even if the shipment was
being sent Iran, it was not illegal.
The 1,144 30-gallon drums of am
monium perchlorate, large enough
to fuel 300 military missiles and va
lued at about $350,000, were ex
ported in January 1988 to Europe
through Houston.
Lake ruled in favor of the govern
ment, in part because of testimony
from Air Force Col. Don Bush, who
said the domestic need for ammo
nium perchlorate is great.
Your pet doesn’t like its nose?
Dallas vet offers surgical cure
DALLAS (AP) — Even a dog can
regret having a face like a dog.
But there’s hope for even the dog
gone funniest looking pets. Dallas
veterinarian Dr. Bill Sanders is help
ing cats and dogs improve their ap
pearance with cosmetic surgery.
“There are medical reasons and
reasons like they just don’t look pret
ty. People don’t want to be apol
ogetic for their pets’ looks,” said
Sanders, who performs pet makeov
ers in his Aardvark Etc. Veterinary
Hospital.
“The most common (request) is to
remove something that is unsightly,”
such as a cancer surgery scars, he
said. “It’s amazing what you can do
with animal skin that you can’t do
with a person’s.”
Sanders said he also has repaired
broken jaws and crooked legs and
permanently removed unwanted
patches of white hair.
“The way we go about doing it
makes it more cosmetic,” he said.
Although it sounds like a luxury
reserved for the “Lifestyles of the
Rich and Famous,” Sanders says his
services aren’t the kind Robin Leach
likes to talk about.
Sanders said he discusses pet own
ers’ requests at length to ensure they
are best for the animal.
“Sometimes, the animal doesn’t
need cosmetic surgery,” Sanders
told a columnist with the Dallas
Morning News. “It’s wonderful that
so much can be done with just good
grooming.”
But Sanders is also aware that
good looks aren’t the only thing that
make a pet happy. An animal must
feel good, too, said Sanders, who
also is a pet psychologist.
Owners fill out a questionnaire
listing all the family’s members, their
involvement with their pet, the pet’s
behavior and any peculiar behavior
that may have prompted them to
seek his services.
“We work with developing the
relationship between the pet and its
owner,” Sanders said. “We have
taken animals and incorporated
them into our lifestyles, for some
people (owning a pet) takes some ed
ucation,” he said.
Coyote poses
unique hazard
for golfers
HOUSTON (AP) — A iw
hazard facing golfers at Hous
ton’s Sharpstown Park Golf
Course has four legs and appar
ently likes to munch on the ducks
and geese that spend afternoons
dozing near the course ponds.
Animal control officers are on
the lookout for a coyote and the)'
fear it might have rabies, because
the normally noctural animal is
wandering the course during the
day.
( )fficers shot at a coyote on the
Sharpstdwn Park Golf Course in
southwest Houston on Monday
within 50 to 100 feet of homes
surrounding the course. Thecoy-
ote is thought to be lunching on
ducks and geese that live in the
golf course ponds and on garbage
from surrounding residences.
The shots missed, but at least
one area resident was upset about
the attempt to kill the animal.
Animal Control Sgt. Hannie
Simmons said it is abnormal for
coyotes to be active during the
day and said officers decided to
try to shoot the animal after they
were unable to get dose enough
to subdue it with a tranquilizer
dart.
Jon Fontenot, who lives in a
nearby condominium, said she
called animal-control officers in
an attempt to save the animal
from the unfamiliar environ
ment.
“He’s just in a wrong place. It’s
not his fault,” Fontenot said of
the coyote. “Why do they have to
shoot the thing? I want to save the
animal so it can be released to the
wild.”
Fontenot contends the coyote
is just taking advantage of the
ducks that sleep near the ponds at
midday, making them easy prey,
although she says she’s noticed
the duck and geese population
has dwindled of late.
“I’ve been wondering where
they went,” she said.
Sharpstown assistant golf pro
Doug Randall said coyotes have
been seen on the course greens
regularly for about a month, al
though golfers aren’t bothered
and seem to enjoy the touch of
wildlife.
“I kind of enjoy it,” Randall
said. “It’s something different.”
